INDIANAPOLIS — When Greg Gattuso was the defensive line coach at the University of Pittsburgh, he was scouting a western Pennsylvania high school game and by chance spotted an undersized lineman who caught his eye.
“I was a big fan of Aaron Donald and everyone thought he was too small,’’ Gattuso recalled Friday to The Post.
Donald was recruited by Akron, Toledo and that’s it. Gattuso recommended Donald to Pitt head coach Dave Wannstedt and a star was born.
As the head football coach at the University at Albany, Gattuso had to face Victor Ochi, an undersized pass rusher from Stony Brook.
